Kharan was located at the northwest of the Baluchistan Agency in a desert area. Most of it's territory was in the Sandy Desert, but included also parts of the Central Makran Range. The only city or town I could find in this area is Nag, presumably the capital of the state (speculation here). Flag unknown to me.Jorge Candeias, 3 May 1998

The early history of Kharan is obscure. It is mainly a record of the fights and
forays in which the chiefs and the tribesmen were continuously engaged. Being
poor and barren, it did not tempt any of the conquering nations which from time
to time since the 14th century conquered other territories. It is said that
Nausherwanis were in power in the north east of Iran. Chaotic conditions were
then prevailing in Iran and the ruler of that country considered them
responsible for this. Accordingly they were compelled to migrate toward Sistain,
bordering the present Kharan District. It is said that the first man who enter
into Kharan from this tribe was Mir Abbas Khan. The Nausherwanis spread over the
entire area and selected Rakhshan (present Basima) as their settlement. Prior to
the entry of Nausherwanis, the Rakhshan area was dominated by the Peerakzais.
Mir Abbas entered into matrimonial relations with this tribe and afterwards
gained control over the Peerakzais tribe. Mir Azad Khan surrendered his
sovereignty to the British Government in 1884. In 1940, Kharan, with the help of
the British, ceased to be a vassal state of Kalat and joined Pakistan, with
reluctance, in 1948. In 1955 the princely states were abolished in Baluchistan
and Kharan became just a mere district of Pakistan.Chrystian Kretowicz, 16 January 2003
